What she is taking is a pill, just as a temporary measure. There are a lot of things GNC sells in the US that you can't get in Canada and I expect that would be one of them. My Androgel is a controlled substance up here and I have to sign some paper for it every time I buy some. I doubt she would like to use a cream there anyway, most everything irritates her down there and it took a while to find a lube that didn't bother her. The US border is closer than any of the doctors on that site but I really don't think we could afford out of pocket. DW just finished her Bachelor's degree and is halfway done her Master's, plus we have a daughter starting University in the fall and we just replaced the van so our debt level is already a lot higher than I'm comfortable with.

Assuming there is no cancer she is set on getting the IUD, and if that doesn't work I hope she will go for an ablation.

Good news though. Her biopsy came back completely normal, no cancer. Yay!

My DW's period has been insanely crazy this past summer too. She will have it for about 2 weeks, then not have it for 2 weeks. She spoke with her doctor about it and premenopause never came up. My wife is only 39, is that possible it can happen that young?

God can change what people do, behavioral patterns that have been in play for decades. He can change what we do to cope, find comfort, survive conflict, to count. Rahab had done a same old thing for years...then she did something new.

Please see a bHRT specialist about this. DW had heavy and irregular periods for years before menopause. The doctor said it is possible if we had treated this in time she could have possibly avoided cancer. Maybe or maybe not on preventing cancer, but it is probable that her symptoms can be alleviated.

Update on my DW, she had the IUD inserted two months ago and it's expected to take up to 3 months for it to take full effect. Her next period after that started when expected, it lasted longer but it was light and easy the whole time. She is a couple of days overdue for her next one, she said she felt a bit of cramping a couple days ago but since then nothing. Her hope is that this will eliminate her having periods altogether so it seems to be going in that direction.

If you don't go get it checked out professionally, go to GNC and get some progesterone cream. Select a brand that tells you how many mg per teaspoon you are getting. It can't hurt anything, and may help with the periods.

Blessings!

Well, she's had the IUD for about 4 months now. Her periods are only a bit less irregular than before (sometimes 2 weeks apart, sometimes her normal 24 days), but not as heavy. If anybody else is dealing with this I would say go for an ablation rather than an IUD. I hoped DW would but that was more invasive than she wanted and her OBGYN discouraged it.

Thanks all for the input.
